Libraries for Kids International has reached out to Muamba Secondary School

On January 14th, Libraries for Kids International (LFK) reached out to the head-teacher at Muamba Secondary school, Kalimeza primary school, AIC Charity Ngilu Secondary school, Mangina Primary School, Katundu primary school, Mwashoti primary school, and Msorongo primary school. These institutions are located in an area with little or no internet access and poor phone service. However, they would love to establish a library for their students.

By offering to send them books and money to buy textbooks that fit their curricula, LFK will be able to fulfil a dream the stakeholders in the institution never thought could be possible.

Muamba
secondary school is located about eight kilometres from the neighbouring Mutomo
town which is about 75 kilometres from Kitui Town. The institution neighbours
Muamba primary school that is also in a similar condition with similar needs.

Kalimeza primary school and AIC Charity Ngilu Secondary school are
located about 7-15kilometers from the neighbouring Kitui town and they have
limited access to internet connectivity. The institutions have empty rooms that
could function as library structures but they have not been able to equip it
properly as they have inadequate reading materials for their students that are
shared among three to five pupils per class.

Mangina primary school is located about 17 kilometres from the nearest
Mulutu town, and about 27 kilometres from Kitui Town. Network and phone
services in the region are awful but the head-teacher is happy that their
institution has been included in the program and will benefit from reading
material for their students.

Katundu primary school is about 35 kilometres from the nearest Mutomo
town and about 80 kilometres Kitui town.

Msorongo and Mwashoti Primary schools are in Taita Taveta County in
Coastal Kenya and right at the corridors of Tsavo west national park.
